EB Games New Zealand will be closing-up shop at the end of this month, after 25 years

It was revealed a week ago the Australian retailer was proposing to shut all its 38 Kiwi stores, and the New Zealand Distribution Centre.

In a social media statement, Managing Director Shane Stockwell's confirmed the closure, calling it the end of an era.

He says it will be an incredibly difficult and emotional time for staff and customers alike.

New Zealand customers will have access to ebgames.com.au by the end of March.
